Funny Fred

0.0

Fred is about to start school - but he really doesn't know what to take with him. You would have thought that his older brother nad sister could tell him; or faiing them, his grandparents and his aunt. But he ends up with an impossible heap - including an umbrella, a spade, a hot-water bottle, and a parrot! "Oh, you are funny, Fred!" said his mum. "What you need is a pencil, a rubber, and a brand new box of crayons." Fred has already starred as the scared cat who stands up to some alarming toughs in Frightened Fred, which has been on the National Curriculum for the last two years.
